Before 1940 it was known as the Vinco Tool Company.[2] In 1962 the New York based Recony division[3] of the business produced air conditioners, heating, and ventilating equipment.[4] By 1980 the firm made rocket-engine parts.[5]

Prior to working for the Belock Instrument Corporation in 1957, golfing great Gene Sarazen was in charge of customer relations for the Vinco Corporation.[6]
